DBMethods

DBMethods is a library that allows you to express parameterized SQL and stored
procedures as managed code functions in your language of
choice (Visual C#,
Visual Basic and others) using
Microsoft .NET Framework.
Just as Platform Invoke (P/Invoke) allows you to call
unmanaged code APIs in platform libraries (DLLs) by supplying a compatible
method definition in managed code, DBMethods allows you to call stored
procedures and parameterized SQL in a database by defining a compatible method
definition in managed code.

“Wow, really very, very cool. I stepped through the code
gen; very very slick.”—Richard Hale

Unlike many products already on the market, DBMethods does not rely on templates
or scriptable code generators. Instead, it simply makes use of the innovative
features of the
Common Language Runtime (CLR) like
metadata,
reflection services,
custom attributes and
dynamic code emission. The biggest benfit of DBMethods over classic
code generation is that it puts the developer in full control of the code. In
fact, since DBMethods approaches the problem at a farily low level, it can even
be used as a complementary approach to wizards and scriptable code generators.
